Unforgettable Experience
My husband and I have been to Maui five times since 2021 and have gone on many different snorkel tours. With that being said, this was hands down the BEST snorkel experience we have ever participated in.
We’ve been to Lanai and Molokini a handful of times, which were awesome in their own right. Still so, this event was like nothing else we’ve done before. We started out in the water as the sun was settling into the horizon and ended surrounded by a stunning display of stars in the night sky. My husband and I were fortunate enough to literally watch the sunset in the company of a majestic sea turtle as we three gently swayed with the clear blue ocean waves together.
Our guide, Robbie, was amazing; he ensured we had a one-of-a-kind experience. He even dove down and presented each of us with a pin cushion sea star and then later with red-pencil sea urchins. We were able to hold them all while he documented every highlight of the evening. We saw multiple sea turtles, and even lobsters. I even witnessed a full-size (HUGE) spotted eagle ray. It was completely dark at the time and we were using flashlights to illuminate the lava rocks, coral and the sea bed when my beam caught sight of the ray as it went from a slow flutter to a high-speed exit. Truly phenomenal!
Despite snorkeling in total darkness neither my husband nor I ever felt scared, not even a hint of apprehension. I think it was a combo of Robbie’s experiential knowledge mixed with his friendly demeanor and quiet confidence that belayed a sense of security that all was in-hand. Plus, it didn’t hurt that we were the only two people on the tour.
The gear provided was top notch, especially the flashlights. The lights cut straight through the darkness of the water making it feel like a game of adventure hide and seek! We also rented a a hand-held power jet we shared back and forth. The power jet had some serious power allowing you to either dive quickly down and up or just zoom-zoom through the water. My husband dubbed it the “James Bond - 007”. Robbie had all sorts of cool gadgets and high-quality equipment. I can’t recommend this tour enough. YOU WILL NOT REGET IT!

Ask for Joe to be your guide
Joe is the best guide and we had so so much fun. He took incredible photos for us and we got lucky as it was just my husband and I so it was very nice and personalized. My husband isn’t the strongest swimmer and overall Joe was good at encouraging him and we were able to go more at my husband’s pace which we both are thankful for. Joe thank you so so much for such an incredible time and such great photos for the memories. We wish you all the best and are so thankful you were such a big part of our Maui adventure.

Best sunset activity
Robbie was a great communicator. He was on time and even text/call to make sure I get to the meet up point correctly. He captured some good moments under the water.
Definitely a must try activity. You get to do in a smaller good. And have all the exclusive time with the turtles.

Special snorkeling tour for turtle lovers!
Robbie led us on an incredible tour tonight. We had more than enough time out in water. Lots of safety checks. Most importantly-so many turtles! Unique to be able to go at dusk and truly special time in the water.

This was such a fun...
This was such a fun experience!! I didn't know what to expect snorkeling with flashlights, but I was pleasantly surprised by how fun it was. Joe was an excellent host, making everyone feel at ease. He took the time to explain things and make it fun and made sure to take tons of pictures and videos. We saw tons of turtles, got to hold sea urchins and caught the sunset from the water. Then used our flashlights on the way back to the beach! SO fun! I would highly recommend this experience.

We Got Very Close To The Turtles!
My husband and I did this just us and we had a really great time. We saw so many turtles! And not only did we see so many turtle but we were close to them too. You could get within feet of them. Our tour guide Robbie was super nice and helpful . He helped us hold a few underwater creatures. We had to swim a good ways out into the water to get to the turtles so if you aren't physically fit, I don't recommend this. You don't have to be an athlete or anything and life jackets are provided but it was tiring swimming out there. I do also have to mention that in the title of the tour it says something along the lines of "with photos and video." Our guide did take lots of photos and videos of us but it cost $25 extra a person. The booking made it seem like photos and video was included in the initial price because it's in the title. Nowhere in the description of the booking does it mention that pictures are extra. So yah, that should be fixed. But overall I recommend this tour. It was my husband's favorite thing that we did!

Do Not Use Zephyr Maui
Our reservations were cancelled due to the weather, something out of my control. I was told that I would get my money back. Almost 3 weeks later, I have yet to receive my refund . I messaged and emailed the company asking for an update. I was asked to send a copy of the receipt, which I sent January 25th. I have yet to receive my refund or even an acknowledgement that my email was received. At this point I don't know if I'll get my money back for a service that was not provided. DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!!!!!
Operator response
Aloha, unfair review. We do always prioritize safety, and in the rare occurrence we cancel, which this tour we did we send out a text explaining the exact steps to get a refund. We also messaged and emailed you back, so saying we didn’t respond simply isn’t true. We would never keep someone’s money from a cancelled trip. However, because you booked third party we did need you to submit a refund request, if you book directly with us this is not a step you need to take. Unfortunately booking third party requires you to go thru that vendor for your refund, and we approve it. We know this isn’t ideal but it’s a quick phone call with TripAdvisor/Viator and then we can approve your refund. We never received this refund request from your party.

Awesome Turtle Swim
Robby took us to see the sea turtles and tons of other marine life. It was laid back but still an awesome adventure. We had an incredible time!
